First-Gen Talks

First-Gen Talks is a podcast hosted by the Center for Student Empowerment at the University of Houston, student leader Cristian, that highlights the real experiences of first-generation college students and alumni. Through honest conversations, personal stories, and guest interviews with students, faculty, and campus professionals, the podcast provides insight, encouragement, and practical guidance for both current and future first-gen students.

Our goal is to build a supportive community where first-generation students feel empowered, informed, and connected throughout their college journey.
